Design Sleuth: Loom Rugs in Australia

A savvy reader clued us in to the source for the rug featured in Architect Visit: Leeton Pointon and Susi Leeton in Australia. The rug is part of the Hepsi collection from Loom Rugs in Victoria, Australia, owned by Doan Biligis, who previously had a thriving rug business in Istanbul. Biligis opened his store several years ago in response to a dearth of viable rug outlets in Australia. Loom Rugs stocks a dizzying array of carpets, from classic to contemporary.
